Submission Guidelines

Are you a trans writer? We can't answer that question for you. If you feel like "poetry and poetics by trans authors alone" encompasses your work, go ahead and send us something.

We welcome submissions of critical prose essays on poetics. Think of these less as reviews and more as a chance for incisive critique. Critical submissions should directly concern poetry by trans writers. Typically, we're looking for submissions of maximum 10 pages double-spaced; If you want to write something longer, send us a pitch. Abstracts are always helpful.
